The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:About a hundred years ago Coleridge wrote: I can scarcely conceive a more delightful volume than might be made from Luthers letters, especially those from the Wartburg, if translated in the simple, idiomatic, hearty mother-tongue of the original. Ones first impulse on reading those words is to search for this delightful volume, but, though nearly a century has elapsed since Coleridge thus wrote, no such volume is to be found in present-day German, even in Germany. This treasure ought to be accessible to all classes. The reason why all classes have not had access to Luthers letters long ago is, that they have lain embedded, many of them in Latin, in the volumes of De Wette ;also in Old German, in the twenty-four huge volumes of Walch sedition of Luthers Works, published about 170 years ago; and in the three volumes of Dr. Gottfried Schutze sGerman edition of Luthers hitherto unpublished letters, translated from the Latin in 1784.
